hey fellow miniriders i am buy new lube 2morro and i was woundering what you are using atm im using motul oil and was wondering if the chain lube is good and what 1 to get

Yea i use motul chain lube. It's pretty much what all the workshop guys use on the bikes there.

I would recommend anything with low flicking. It's probably more expensive than most but it's not a big deal cause the last time i bought some was probably 8 months ago and i've been using it on my road bike too so you don't really get through it all that quickly.

I agree totally, nothing worse than spending a lot of money to have lube thrown all over you.
I also agree with buying the cheapest car oil that you can get, being that unless you go for full synthetics, there is stuff all difference in mineral oils.
When I do an oil change, I drain all the oil out, fill it up with the cheap oil. Start the bike for about a minute, drain it, and then fill it up again.
This makes sure that all the impurities are out of the motor before you put the new oil in.
Because you are buying the cheap stuff, you can afford to waste a litre to do this.

you can always dip your chain in a vat of hot grease.... after trying this, you'll love chain wax.
